Homade Crpgs For Snes



There is a sentence which is repeated every so often we enjoy the music in Peru: the radio is crap.

Although it seems too drastic, it is very difficult to sustain that claim. You only need to review the dial with attentive ears, and that is impregnated in our minds as a sentence final. However, for those who do not manage the time or patience to claim pass from one station to another, I shall detail what was transmitted on a daily basis. On behalf of those who rejoice with the sauce (and, to be more precise, sensual salsa), a variety of stations that they can satisfy that taste. But I must point out that if, for example, someone wanted to listen to a baroque sauce, the way of the songs Maestra Vida, Ruben Blades, would have to wait a specialized program or it is sad to say, the death of that musician, fact that, perhaps, motivate the placing on the air of his most outstanding achievements sound. Moreover, addicts also folklore have their places on the dial. But in those fields, as well as produced by the (as) singers Fashionable, enjoy the fine guitar Manuelcha Prado or rebel songs Martina Portocarrero? The obvious answer is no. But I do not want to be pessimistic, so I'll keep mentioning other genres. And it occurs to me as follows: reggaeton. If a subject is a fan of the current rhythm, I have no doubt that it will have a chance to bask in the radio broadcasts. But if you want to pay attention to the lyrics of Calle 13, reggaeton group that criticism of their musical peers, with irony and self-confidence, machine guns with a verb hectic social system, Can he do? Not really. Sure someone will ask: what about the rock? Well, if an individual enjoys to rock, have on hand a number of stations. But (and this is the fourth "but"), if you listen to the poetry of Spinnet or the atmospheres of Pink Floyd, the dirty sound of the first Leusemia or the Beatles psychedelic period, only detract from the following: take your CD or your mp3 file, press play, and feel the rarest of the rare ... So, taking the basic four previous cases, summarize the paragraph with the question: is it conceivable that groups or singers that do not follow a line or cool or light commercial or light or whatever call are passed by the Peruvian radio? As suspected, the reply is a resounding: NO.

Now the radio is not a waste because the vast majority of stations (1) forward only fun and popular songs. No, not that the reason for my qualification. This is because the dial Peru denies the difference. Rejects. Hides. The ninguneo. Why do it? Perhaps because the programmers can not see beyond their noses and stay with the epidermis of supply noise. Maybe because the developers think the public is stupid and will not accept something radically new. Perhaps because the same developers are certain economic benefits that ought to pay particular type of music. Maybe. Maybe.

there anything yet that gives a glimmer of hope to this dark night. And that is the exercise of your freedom, dear reader / listener. If you do not like you enough or not what you hear on the radio, ask your friends or acquaintances, go to a stocked Discotienda, check the Internet, or finally, make your own music. The important thing is to find something to fill, at least momentarily, the natural need to have your ears to be pierced by something they consider beautiful. And if you ever get to work or run a radio, is betting on the multiplicity of options, because the only way to achieve freedom is fully having the choice of as many roads. And what is the right way? That only you know.

(1) I notice that two radio stations (Radio Philharmonic and Double Nine) who opt for a different signal. The first is devoted to a special chamber music, and the second more elaborate Anglo rock. On the other hand, if you look very closely, you can find some programs, very few hours, trying to give new life to dial Peru. However, both cases (stations and programs) are the exception, unfortunately, proves the rule.
